Oh there is no doubt that in some applications its an awesome tool. But for me it just wasn't helping me, it made me miss my friends more, and that effected me in a bad way. Even in this short time I'm talking to more people that I normally wouldn't and I don't miss my friends nearly as much now. I just needed to get away from it all I guess.

I feel like some of you may take it a bit too seriously, or think others take it more seriously than they do. It is just an easy way of keeping up with the happenings of friends, and gives a basic overview of someone. Most people I know represent who they are pretty well on FB, or don't present enough to even make an actual judgement. I can't say I honestly know anyone who is "socially akward" and people think they are super cool because of what their FB makes them seem like If they try to act super cool on FB and are not, most people realize it.

that.

FB should be used as a tool to keep up with friends. being in the military i move around a lot and try to keep up with friends once they/myself move to another base. perfect example, 2 guys i was really good friends with in AR moved to where ever, and now they ended up stationed here in JP with me. had it not been for FB i probably wouldnt of known that. now i just need to take a plane ride and bam, we are kickin it like old times. everyone says "oh yeah ill send you an email blah blah blah" but that dies. in my tech school i made a really good friend, swore to keep in touch, emails became less talking and few and far between. now, shortly he will move here and i am going to be super glad cause he was a cool ass friend. had it not been for FB i wouldnt of seen his feeds and known he was moving. my best friend back in WA, i keep up with him a little on FB, hes closer to me than my acctual brother, if not for FB we wouldnt talk, especially since i do not have a US number to contact people with.

now for those people that search for straight/bi, single, females, ages 18-23, located [where the fuck ever your at], within 15 miles, you need to get out and go to a mall/club and try to talk to females. i have absolutely zero game when trying to form snazzy pick up lines on the spot, so you dont need them. just be funny and have a cute face, and even the cute face is optional, but it helps.

some need to learn to use FB appropriately/moderately, i do not currently but thats cause im in a fuked up situation and will not bore SW with my sob story.

cool shit kielan, i dont think it is nessissary but as long as it works for you, awesome shit
(no sarcaism or asshat-ery intended). but for us folks that move a lot, it helps keep in touch with good friends, as it should be used.

what if you are sailing on your yacht and decide to carry a couple million in cash with you, and it hits an iceberg?

I would like to retrieve it.

At first I was going to be like... Good for you. In a sarcastic kind of tone. Because I feel every one has been there and tried that. I have. But the people like Bob Meyers from mye28, who lives in Australia, are half way around the world so it's easier just to chat with him and others like that through facebook.

But after reading I can see where you are coming from and I say, Good for you, with all honesty and meaning behind it.

Haha thanks Christof.

I can honestly say, no facebook = happier Kielan. I used to be such a debby downer, now not nearly as bad. Still got a way to go though.
